KLF4 promotes a KRT13+ hillock-like state in squamous lung cancer.

Preprint · March 13, 2025 Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is basal-like subtype of lung cancer with limited treatment options. While prior studies have identified tumor-propagating cell states in squamous tumors, the broader landscape of intra-tumoral heterogeneity within LUSC ... Full text Link to item Cite

KSR2 promotes self-renewal and clonogenicity of small-cell lung carcinoma

Preprint · 2022 Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) tumors are heterogeneous, with a subpopulation of cells primed for tumor initiation. Here, we show that Kinase Suppressor of Ras 2 (KSR2) promotes the self-renewal and clonogenicity of SCLC cells. KSR2 is a molecular scaffo ... Full text Cite

Cancer Hallmarks Define a Continuum of Plastic Cell States between Small Cell Lung Cancer Archetypes

Preprint · 2021 Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) tumors are heterogeneous mixtures of transcriptional subtypes. Understanding subtype dynamics could be key to explaining the aggressive properties that make SCLC a recalcitrant cancer. Applying archetype analysis and evolution ... Full text Cite
